[ Upstream commit 59162e0c11d7257cde15f907d19fefe26da66692 ]

The x86 instruction decoder is used not only for decoding kernel
instructions. It is also used by perf uprobes (user space probes) and by
perf tools Intel Processor Trace decoding. Consequently, it needs to
support instructions executed by user space also.

Opcode 0x68 PUSH instruction is currently defined as 64-bit operand size
only i.e. (d64). That was based on Intel SDM Opcode Map. However that is
contradicted by the Instruction Set Reference section for PUSH in the
same manual.

Remove 64-bit operand size only annotation from opcode 0x68 PUSH
instruction.

Example:

  $ cat pushw.s
  .global  _start
  .text
  _start:
          pushw   $0x1234
          mov     $0x1,%eax   # system call number (sys_exit)
          int     $0x80
  $ as -o pushw.o pushw.s
  $ ld -s -o pushw pushw.o
  $ objdump -d pushw | tail -4
  0000000000401000 &lt;.text&gt;:
    401000:       66 68 34 12             pushw  $0x1234
    401004:       b8 01 00 00 00          mov    $0x1,%eax
    401009:       cd 80                   int    $0x80
  $ perf record -e intel_pt//u ./pushw
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB perf.data ]

 Before:

  $ perf script --insn-trace=disasm

[ Upstream commit f96b4675839b66168f5a07bf964dde6c2f1c4885 ]

Use get_unaligned() instead of memcpy() to access potentially unaligned
memory, which, when accessed through a pointer, leads to undefined
behavior. get_unaligned() describes much better what is happening there
anyway even if memcpy() does the job.

In addition, since perf tool builds with -Werror, it would fire with:

  util/intel-pt-decoder/../../../arch/x86/lib/insn.c: In function '__insn_get_emulate_prefix':
  tools/include/../include/asm-generic/unaligned.h:10:15: error: packed attribute is unnecessary [-Werror=packed]
     10 |  const struct { type x; } __packed *__pptr = (typeof(__pptr))(ptr); \

because -Werror=packed would complain if the packed attribute would have
no effect on the layout of the structure.

In this case, that is intentional so disable the warning only for that
compilation unit.

That part is Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell &lt;sfr@canb.auug.org.au&gt;

No functional changes.

<content type='text'>
Don't perform unaligned loads in __get_next() and __peek_nbyte_next() as
these are forms of undefined behavior:

"A pointer to an object or incomplete type may be converted to a pointer
to a different object or incomplete type. If the resulting pointer
is not correctly aligned for the pointed-to type, the behavior is
undefined."

(from http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1256.pdf)

These problems were identified using the undefined behavior sanitizer
(ubsan) with the tools version of the code and perf test.

Users of the instruction decoder should use this to decode instruction
bytes. For that, have insn*() helpers return an int value to denote
success/failure. When there's an error fetching the next insn byte and
the insn falls short, return -ENODATA to denote that.

While at it, make insn_get_opcode() more stricter as to whether what has
seen so far is a valid insn and if not.

Copy linux/kconfig.h for the tools-version of the decoder so that it can
use IS_ENABLED().

Also, cast the INSN_MODE_KERN dummy define value to (enum insn_mode)
for tools use of the decoder because perf tool builds with -Werror and
errors out with -Werror=sign-compare otherwise.

Add an explicit __ignore_sync_check__ marker which will be used to mark
lines which are supposed to be ignored by file synchronization check
scripts, its advantage being that it explicitly denotes such lines in
the code.
